Question 1

I purchased the 850 Watt M series - I plugged it into the wall and the fan did not turn, am I doing something wrong?

Accepted Answer

The power supply must first be installed in your system and the large connector MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE MOTHERBOARD. There is an internal connection within the power supply that must see the motherboard  system. The supply will not work out of the system, as being on a tabletop. Hope this helps. My supply  is still going strong!

Question 2

I plan on doing a complete new system. I plan on building:

Cooler Master Storm Enforcer  Case 
-ASUS P8Z77-V LK LGA 1155
EVGA SuperClocked GeForce GTX 760 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 x2
-Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge Quad-Core 3.5GHz
G.SKILL Trident X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB)
-WDB 1TB
Creative Sound Blaster Z sound card

My question is that since I am going to get 2 of the gtx 760 will the 850 be enough wattage for the cards and my system? Or will I need to go with the 1000? Both have the amps needed but the 760 says it requires 500w for each card.

Accepted Answer

yes it will be fine, what that means is you need to have a minimum 500 watts for your entire system not just the video card, im running 2 AMD HD7970's at 1000 mhz each with 3 gb of memory in Xfire, , im also running 3 256MB SSD"S, Asus Sabertooth , 16 gigs of ram that is also over clocked, ive had no issues running all of this on this power supply, in short buy it you will have no issues

Question 3

Does this come with the wires that plug into the motherboard, etc? Or do I just have to buy new wiring? Or will I be able to take wires out of my old power supply (Dell Optiplex 780 full tower)?

Accepted Answer

It comes with all the wires you will need need plus extras

Question 4

I do own this PSU, but have a question about its capabilities (having bought this to replace an older/less powerful one that I blew up)... does anyone have this powering at EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 06G-P4-1996-KR (hybrid water cooled GPU)? The rest of my rig is not too power hungry, but I can't find any info on what the GTX 980 Ti requires on the +12v rail... Thanks in advance!

Thermaltake makes excellent products the power supply is a good one ,you need to add up the total wattage of your components and also look at the special plugs to see if it is compatible to your needs. this one should work , but it may be if you can afford to go to 1000 watt.

Question 5

I need to replace a thermaltake  TR2RX-750AH3CH power supply in my PC.I do not see it on the site. Do you have a compatible model?

Accepted Answer

I have owned several thermaltake ps's. They are all excellent and reliable. I would suggest the sp-1000m. I have been running this PS for a long time now

Question 6

Will this fit a standard size case?  I'm not sure of the model number but it's a tower case and the fan is a 500w.

Thanks,
John

I have a smaller case in comparison to many friends of mine, and it fits like a charm.  I believe the case I have is only about 8" wide but it had no issues and I really have enjoyed it so far.
